**** April 2019 mummies ****

[Mummymoreton]

Hi everyone! Thought I'd join in the fun. I'm 7 weeks today and feeling it! Due 15th April according to nhs calculator.
Dreading the thought of going back to work-im a teacher so have been so grateful of the summer holidays particularly as this last week I've been unbelievably tired! I'm not sure I can get away with napping on the job! Hoping I can cope with the imminent system shock and not a friendly drop of caffiene to help me after!

In constant worry mode as I wait for midwife appointment. This first bit feels a bit strange with keeping things a secret and having not had contact with Dr or anyone yet. Feels like a long time.

Huge congratulations to everyone expecting. Excited to be on this journey.

Aaah congratulations and welcome! Poor you going back to work but I can't blinking wait for them to go back now. I have had a rocky start with pain and spotting so having them off has been hard work!
Have you not booked an appt with your doctor yet and been referred for a midwife appt? All areas are different to be honest Xx

Welcome! I'm a teacher too and the exhaustion is killing me. I'm in Scotland so we're already back. Never have my wall displays looked so bare and my forward plan is due on Friday and I haven't touched it! I just go home and sleep! 😂

Morning Ladies, hope you all had a nice weekend?

So the whole 'morning sickness' is definitely getting a hold of me atm yesterday was quite bad until i ate a crumpet which saw it off. Had a really good fun day socialising with all our friends and again, me not drinking, even with the excuse 'i have work tomorrow' wasnt good enough for one of my gfs i knew she didnt believe it was a good enough excuse, so i ended up telling her, as i couldn't bare looking stupid and continually lying to her. funnily enough what gave it away more was a Jim Bean bbq sauce that i tried, which i knew immediately had alcohol in it - you've never seen me more shocked in your life!

Two days of work to endure then were off to Newcastle to see the oh's family - cant wait, i need a break!

Hows everyone feeling? i think theres a few scans this week for alot of you?x

 

[night owl]

Ha ha IVW I know what you mean, I accidentally ate a liquor chocolate last week and got the shock of my life!

Got a scan on Sunday, got a busy week in work to take my mind off it a bit, threw up again this morning and my nausea seems to be pretty constant now with the odd bout of retching thrown in, lovely! Xx

 

[Mummymoreton]

Aww I always say when morning sickness is bad just remember that it's all a good sign! Haha you sound like me though IVW I just feel like more and more people are finding out and I am desperately trying to keep it hush.
I am fine!!! Had a little bit of nausea yesterday afternoon and then nothing!!! I am joining slimmer world tonight because I am just piling weight on.
Me and hubby DTD the last night...first time since finding out I was so scared it was going to start my spotting off again but so far so good. I have a private scan next Wednesday 5th xxx

I do feel a little bit reassured by it mummymoreton but only for about 5 minutes! If the nausea goes away for a bit i start worrying, this morning I was convinced my boobs weren’t sore anymore! I think we can’t win whether we have symptoms or not we are just going to worry anyway, and having symptoms doesn’t guarantee everything will be ok I suppose it just means hormones are rising for now, arghhh please hurry up second trimester! How are you feeling today mm? Xx

Aww sorry you’re feeling crap Laura, it might just be hormones making you feel down and making things seem worse then they are xx

The alcohol was so strong as well, i think my friends were shocked by my reaction, well the people that didnt know - 50% of people at the table

Oh that will be a saviour with work being busy, it will make the days fly by and distract your mind as well. Typically this is the first period ever in my work that its been really quiet and its driving me insane

Roll on Sunday

Oh I am the same as you! Driving myself nuts as per usual. I know I am counting down the weeks too! I am still off work my doctor signed me off when I had all the pain and bleeding/spotting. Due back next week I think work will be a good distraction. I am ok just feel tired and had a headache all day. My 2 girls have gone to their friends house and about to put the baby up for a nap. So going to watch a film with my eldest and drink tea and eat biccies haha xxx

 

[teachermummy]

Seems like there's quite a few in Scotland here, and also quite a few teachers! I'm part time this year, thank goodness, would not have got through the last couple of weeks otherwise, so tired.

I've had brown blood for a few days, assumed the worse as this is my 9th pregnancy and only got two kids, get used to the blood just appearing one day. But lo and behold, got a scan at the hospital and all is well, jellybean flickering away on screen! Phew!

 

[LauraB_83]

Scan went well measuring 8w5d with an EDD of 4/4/19. Saw his /hers little heartbeat flickering too so that was great to see. Just hoping the nausea calms down now

 

[Mummymoreton]

Aww girls so glad everything is well for you both! Xxx

awwww amazing news

Hi all!

I am 7 weeks today, due 16th April 2019. This is my second baby, my first is nearly 11!! haha so a nice big age gap! I've been feeling nauseous for the last few days, but today was my first day of actually being sick - twice this morning and then I actually just had to stop typing to rush to the bathroom at work!! I've also been absolutely exhausted at work today.. I had a week and a half off to spend at home with my daughter, and coming back has been really hard today - it's crazy how much things change in a couple of weeks!

I have a private scan booked for 9am Saturday morning, as I just couldn't wait until 12 weeks! I want to make sure everything is going smoothly (and make sure there's only one bean in there! haha)

xx

 

[JomoMama]

Been feeling absolutely crap today, not really hungry at all, keep thinking of all the foods I don’t like (because I know I shouldn’t be thinking of them) and it makes me feel sick, have had a pounding headache all day, tried to nap for an hour or so but woke up feeling worse. Looking forward to getting to sleep tonight just so I can have some relief!! Xx

 

[Rainingflowers]

How's everyone finding the tiredness??? I actually don't know how much longer I can cope. I cried this morning coz I am just so tired!!! I feel like speaking to the doctor to see if there's anything I can take/use/have to help but I feel silly!! I'm struggling to function or do my job properly I'm just so tired!!!!

I’m with you on that one, I go to bed super early and wake up tired, I keep falling asleep on the couch at 5 in the evening! I wouldn’t have thought there’s much a doctor could give you, all I can suggest that’s helped me is to just sleep when you need it. Obviously that’s quite when we’re at work, but if you get home and you’re tired, just have a nap. I used to feel so guilty for napping, felt like I was just wasting the day and being lazy but actually your body is just telling you what you need so just sleep whenever you can! xx
